A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks
Reviewed by Stephanie How would you feel if someone very close to you was murdered, and you never knew who committed the crime? Would you be overcome with sadness, and long to know who did it?
That is how Miles Ryan, a deputy sheriff in a small town in North Carolina feels. Miles’s wife, Missy, was killed in an unsolved hit and run incident, leaving him to raise their son, Jonah, alone. Miles searches for his wife’s killer, and finds suspects that he thinks did it, but cannot find enough evidence to back it up. Jonah starts having trouble in school and takes tutoring lessons from his new to the area teacher, Sarah Andrews. Sarah enters Miles’s life, and they soon begin to fall in love. However, when Sarah discovers that the murder was committed by someone very close to her, it leaves her in a confused state of mind. Should she keep the secret forever, or jeopardize the relationship that she created with Miles by telling him the truth?
I absolutely love the way Nicholas Sparks writes. He makes you feel like you are in the book, listening to the character’s talk to you. A Bend in the Road was a book that I could not put down. I highly recommend this book to readers who love a good mystery.
